We need you!
March Briefing: We're looking for founding partners
Welcome to the second monthly briefing for Trinity Church Westminster, launching in September 2026! If you missed the first one, please catch up here.
An exciting time to plant a church!
We have been greatly encouraged by the book of Kings recently. One of the things it tells us is that even while living in a nation with a compromised national church, it is an exciting time to be part of local gathering that takes God at his word. For when churches fail to be reformed by the word of God, they will be re-formed by the word of God. As by his Spirit through his word the Lord continues his unstoppable purpose to see the nations discipled and his glory fill the earth.
The Church of England, as well as other mainline denominations, are failing to guard the gospel (See a great interview from our Spiritual Overseer Vaughan Roberts at GAFCON 2026 in Abuja here). Yet, there seems to be a growing interest from people to hear about real, robust, biblical Christian faith. We believe it is an exciting time to be planting a church in Westminster, to gather a group of believers who want to go out and proclaim the gospel in all areas of life, and see how the Lord uses his church in the next generation.
This recent sermon includes some of the biblical reasoning behind our decision to begin outside the current Church of England structures. Although we want to be a Reformed Evangelical Anglican Church, we think as we are starting something new, given the mess in the Church of England, we will be best served beginning outside the official structures. We will get on with seeking to build the church, while remaining closely connected to, supported by, and overseen by fellow evangelicals, leaving the option to rejoin should a sufficient settlement come to pass. (Find out a bit more on our ‘about’ page).
Giving thanks
We have had a few super information sessions so far this month, as we have sought to explain the vision, spread the word and ask people to consider being founding partners at Trinity Church Westminster.
But we would love to spread the word further, and invite anyone to consider joining us, who would be excited to join a church looking to maximally apply the Bible to every area of life, meeting in Westminster. If you would like to consider that yourself, or you know someone who might, please do get in touch here, and we can arrange a coffee with one of the team to help you find out more:

Come and see… and pray
Our next Prayer and Planning Meeting is on Sunday 29th March at 16:15-17:30 in St Michael’s Cornhill Rectory (access via the Rectory Garden behind the back of the church building). William Taylor, the Senior Pastor of our sending church, St Helen’s Bishopsgate, will be addressing us. Anyone who would like to find out more or would like to support the plant in any way is welcome. And it is a great chance to meet some of the team, to hear about and contribute to developing plans, and to pray!
Please pray
For 25 founding partners to be committed by 27th April (our sending church’s annual meeting)
We would find an individual/individuals who are willing and able to lead us musically, particularly in singing Psalms
For us to continue to establish connections and partners in Westminster who we can work with to reach out with the gospel
That the legally processes that need to take place to set up the church plant serve us well and go smoothly and quickly
